SNR J0509.5-6731 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2heTvq9
A supernova remnant with a smooth outer shell in hydrogen emission, and a clumpy inner x-ray shell. The hydrogen emission is shown here in red, while the clumpy x-ray emission is shown in blues, greens, and pinks. I almost didn't finish this, because what I was doing was almost exactly the same as had already been done beautifully, and I try not to redo things. It ended up quite interesting however when I realized there were multiple frames from different years that could be used to show the expansion of the bubble over time. An animation of that is here: flic.kr/p/2heWSpn Hubble proposals used: The Proper Motion of Supernova Remnant E0509-67.5 Single-Degenerate or Double-Degenerate?

This historic picture of Jupiter’s southern half always stops me in my tracks.

Voyager 2 grabbed it on 25 June 1979 when it was already down to 12 million kilometres and still closing fast.

Colour photo from 1979 showing Jupiter’s southern half with its creamy and reddish-brown cloud belts swirling across the disk. The Great Red Spot is visible on the left side. In front of the planet, the moon Io appears as a bright sphere about the size of our Moon. Deep black space all around. Taken by Voyager 2.

The Hubble image shows UGC 12591, a rare isolated S0/Sa galaxy – a giant hybrid between a lenticular and an early-type spiral.

Imagine a pitch-black sky with one lone, soft glow floating dead center. It’s a big, slightly oval puff, creamy at the heart, fading gently into a huge, ghostly pale haze that’s almost lost in the dark. A very faint, thin shadow drifts across the upper part like a whisper of smoke. No arms or patterns, just smooth and fluffy. A handful of tiny star specks with little cross glints keep it company around it.

An anime-style illustration of a young girl with short, glowing white hair standing on a sloped street at twilight. She faces away from the viewer, looking toward a vibrant pink and purple sunset over a distant cityscape. From her hands, long ribbons of golden, orange, and pink light flow outward, carried by the wind and dissolving into glowing particles like fireflies. The scene evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, fleeting memory, and bittersweet longing. The lighting is soft and atmospheric, emphasizing the emotional weight of the moment. `Key Concepts:` anime art nostalgia, glowing memories, sunset cityscape, wind and light, bittersweet longing, lo-fi aesthetic, dreamy atmosphere, emotional illustration, golden hour. `Potential Queries:` sad anime girl sunset art, nostalgic lo-fi illustration, glowing ribbons representing memories, emotional sunset anime art, feeling of saudade in digital art, art about letting go of the past.
